Hello Dear Friends!
Today is a special day for my sweet daughter, Carolyn!
It's her birthday and words can not express what this lovely lady means to me!!
Happy Birthday Sweet Girl!
The card I have prepared to share with you today is to satisfy the challenge over on the Mod Squad Challenge Blog. The theme is to use the 'white wash' technique and thankfully, they offer a video by Melanie Muenchinger of GinaK Designs. Check it out!
This was a fun and easy technique and I really like the soft looking outcome.
I will be using this technique on a few more cards since I have a lot to get done for upcoming Fall craft shows and this is something a little 'different'!
I chose an OLD SU stamp for my focus image from the 'Morning Soft' set. And, my sentiments are from the 'Birthday Blessings' set I won recently over on the Stamping Simply with Sharon Johnson blog (thanks Sharon!).
Don't ask me why ... but I truly struggle using 'kraft' paper. I'm just not in love with it ... but since that's what Melanie used in her video I thought I'd give it a whirl. HOWEVER ... I'm going to use white card stock next time and see if I like the outcome as much (color wise).
Challenges to share in:
2 Creative Chicks September Challenge - Anything Goes
Card Mania Challenge - Pastel Colors
Let's Craft and Create Challenge - Pearls or Lace
Guess I'd better 'get back to work' ...
Thanks so much for stopping by today ...
Hope you are having a fabulous week!
As always ...
